Purchased this item for my mom, for the sizing it says she is a size B but we went up one size and got C. No way is the sizing right, she couldn't get them on. The bottom part where the underwear are is big and the tummy control part is so small, I can;t see how it can fit a toddler! Not happy with Spanx, bought a few items on here for an upcoming wedding and returned them all.

...because of all the complaints and negative commentsI am 5'4" 135lbs. I wanted the tummy control.I ordered my size B, received it put it on and I was very pleased. the workmanship was excellent, the size was true to a B. Sure there is the moment that you need to get the smallest width up over you bum etc. but that is to be expected. I thought it was great, did what it was supposed to do and I recommend it .

The sizing chart definitely needs to be checked. For one product it states A - G but does not give a chart or the chart that comes up is for small to XXL. I had intended to purchase a few items tonight but because of these charts and the aggravation of trying to figure out what size I would wear I decided to forget about ordering at all. I do agree with a few other reviews about not fitting well if one is 5'3" or under and seems to be geared to taller and longer waisted people.

I have tried Spanx on several occasions and I have come to the conclusion that they are not meant for petite women (5'2" and under) who have a few pounds on their body; more than the usual woman. I have tried different sizes but none fit well or felt comfortable. They did not hold in the muffin top and were very uncomfortable. For me, just not worth it.

I felt like writing this review since most of them are negative. I only need control in the waistline, that all, nowhere else. This provide the smoothness & control around my tummy. If it is not for the price (wish its around $35) I would order a couple back ups.

I purchased this product in a size B...it was too large.Then I exchanged it for a size A. They did not have the nudecolor, so I purchased the black.When it arrived ...it was so small that I could not step into it.This also was returned.I am still waiting for my return for both products, yet theyhave already charged me for the ship!.This product is not what is portrayed.

I have never purchasded anything from Spanx before, but really needed something to hold me in. After reading several reviews I decided on the higher power brief. It is a bit difficult to put it on at first, and I found that I was unable to really pull up the back. I would suggest trying to tuck the back underneath your bra, that help me. It was very comfortable, in fact it is the only shaper I have worn which I wasn't dying to get out of after an hour let alone wearing it for the full day at work. It really needs some type of opening at the crotch area though, because when going to the bathroom you have to pull the entire garment off (headache). I also found that after only 1 day the threading on the bottom portion was unravelling :(. This product does smooth out the bulges and is very comforatble which is a plus. You can also wear it under pants or shorts , which I love.

I have ordered Spanx serveral times and had to send them back. I went by the sizing guide and even went up one size, but still showed more lumps and bumps than I thought I had. Sent it back yet again. I guess you have to go up 2 sizes than your normal size.
